Green Bay Packers news, rumors and injuries

Fantasy Tip: Montgomery could be held out of the second preseason game because of his injury but has a few weeks to prepare for the regular season. He will be the starting running back for the Packers this season and will continue to be used in the passing game. He will be a solid No. 2 running back in all leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Montgomery is a polarizing figure in the fantasy community this year. If he can hold onto the starting job in the backfield and stay healthy, he has low-end RB1 upside in PPR formats. In any case, Jamaal Williams is a recommended handcuff.

Green Bay Packers TE Richard Rodgers (finger) wore a splint in his broken right ring finger during practice Sunday, Aug. 13. He said the splint did not affect his ability to catch passes or block and believes he can wear it during games until the finger is healed.

Updating a previous story, WR Malachi Dupre (head) was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation after being carted off the field following a hit during the team's preseason game Thursday, Aug. 10. Dupre has movement and feeling in all his extremities, according to the team, and Dupre tweeted after the game that he was "okay."
